The best thing I got was probably a set of spacers for my car (makes the wheels stick out wider) and some coilovers (makes my car lower and very uncomfortable so I don't need to give people lifts)
Aside from that I got some nice clothes and some Salad Cream (yes, seriously). What was the best gifts you received? (or gave!) |

I got a cheeseboard! A proper hardwood cutting board with cheeses (including a blue one from the Blur guitarist) already prepared, and quince jelly!

I was very happy to receive my longed for "cox" related gift - a copy of the quantum universe - not many pictures but a pretty cover! But also got a copy of Nigella's Domestic Goddess - so I can always bake a cake if I don't understand the science.
Also thrilled to get a kindle which I'm loving more than I thought I would. |

Just as well this forum is about Newbury and not S****horpe! (Which is a town in Lincolnshire, incidentally.)

Dream option list. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjdCTY5bGko&hd=1 - Very sad to have had to sold her. Other gifts I recieved - a very nice Helly Hansen jacket, some nice jumper/shirt thing combined, no money though unfortunately although I did get £50 odd quid for being taxi service on Christmas evening/boxing day morning.

You need to keep up with the times. Nice one, and all he did was follow Triumph. Same old product, just bigger and more shiny each year. Speed Twin, 1934 - base design still going strong. Power of marketing - has always kept me amazed. -------------------- Know your place!

Well Christmas is a time of good cheer,
I asked Santa for a proper long handle scrubbing brush. What bliss to reach the parts shoulder joints fail to reach. It detaches itself, well I do, and you have the equivalent of of a scourge. Not quite Opus Dei I wish I had done it years ago but felt my Mrs would think I was getting old. "I am older than that now" ce |
